You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 321 - 272: Bai Zhenzhen: I’ll support you!

Next, Zhang Yu first exchanged currency, and saw that besides spirit coins, there were also Qiongjiang Coins, White Cloud Coins, Heavenly Law Coins, Seven Emotions Coins... all sorts of currencies.

"What are these currencies?"

Fortunately, with someone as experienced as Li Xuelian by his side, Zhang Yu certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity to ask.

Upon hearing Zhang Yu’s question, Li Xuelian said, "The essence of spirit coins, did my father tell you about it?"

Zhang Yu nodded, understanding that the so-called spirit coins were a type of currency that combined mana with spiritual mechanism, filled in the Spirit Realm Network.

Only cultivators above the Divinity Transformation Realm, aided by True Gods, could use great mana to refine such currency.

Each spirit coin corresponds to a bundle of mana and spiritual mechanism, essentially anchoring a source of energy.

All spirit coins essentially exist within the Spirit Realm Network, corresponding to a piece of information within that network, and in daily transactions, they are transferred and remitted directly through the network.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The so-called spirit coins, refined only by high-level cultivators and True Gods together, anchor Kunxu’s basic energy... are a kind of network currency."

"Using it daily is a bit like the digital currency on Earth from his previous life, but it has actual value itself."

"Though ordinary people can’t refine spirit coins, they can lend their mana through the Spirit Realm Network and eventually earn some spirit coins as a return."

As Zhang Yu’s memory flashed momentarily, Li Xuelian replied, "Spirit coins are the most widely used currency."

"But there are also some powerful figures above the Divinity Transformation Realm who create their own currency for special transactions, or for investment and financing activities."

"You see, these Seven Emotions Coins were created by Bai Zhenzhen’s teacher, the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch, and their value has skyrocketed more than ten times since their issuance back then."

"The Qiongjiang Coins, however, were issued by the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch from Hehuan University, and their value has plummeted to less than 1% of the original."

"In short, there’s a lot to learn here. Just get familiar with it; you only need to deal with spirit coins in daily life."

Zhang Yu exchanged his over fifty million first-floor currency in his account for 5 spirit coins, according to the exchange limit.

Other than this pre-prepared fifty million, he bought various supplies with all the remaining cash on the first floor and stashed them in his suitcase.

Looking at his first-floor account, now empty except for a few thousand in currency, Zhang Yu felt somewhat sentimental.

After exchanging the currency, what followed were a series of tedious yet essential procedures.

In addition to registering information, he also had to open a second-floor bank account, communication account, network account... and many of these required spending money; fortunately, Zhang Yu had just exchanged for 5 spirit coins.

Li Xuelian reminded him, "Remember to set the data usage higher, check off the post-pay option, and disruptions on the second-floor network are quite inconvenient."

The communication account cost 0.003 spirit coins per month, and he chose a 0.005 spirit coin package for network data. Transportation rights topped up another 0.001 spirit coin, and there’s an annual medical insurance fee of 0.05 spirit coins.

Although Zhang Yu now had strong self-healing abilities, Master Xinghuo had reminded him that this self-healing ability was only to save on medical insurance costs annually, not to forgo purchasing it altogether.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Yu saw his account balance change from 5 spirit coins to 4.941 spirit coins.

Zhang Yu grumbled inwardly, "Converted to first-floor currency, isn’t that tens of thousands? And it’s already gone?"

Seeing Zhang Yu’s pained expression, Li Xuelian reminded him, "Once you’re on the second floor, stop constantly converting. Earn spirit coins, spend spirit coins. The purchasing power, average income on the two sides... aren’t the same to begin with. Converting is meaningless.

As all the registration work was completed, everyone took a flying boat from the Ascension Platform to different destinations.

Qian Shen waved at Zhang Yu, "We’re leaving; study well at Wanfa University."

Xiong Wenwu said, "Until next time."

After bidding farewell to everyone, Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, and others boarded the flying boat to Wanfa University.

About ten minutes later, the flying boat plunged into a mist, and an announcement came over the broadcast saying they were about to arrive at the second-floor Wanfa University.

In the next moment, Zhang Yu felt like his body passed through a thin layer, as the clouds around the flying boat dispersed, and a new world appeared before him.

Kunxu Second Floor.

Endless landscapes of mountains and rivers, lush green forests, looking at the beautiful natural scenery in front of him, Zhang Yu remarked, "The second-floor’s ecosystem is quite nice indeed."

Hearing Zhang Yu’s remark, Li Xuelian gestured towards the vast forest below with a large motion, then said, "These... are all private properties and have nothing to do with us. We can’t enter either."

"That..." novelbuddy-cσ๓

Li Xuelian pointed to a massive building standing amidst the mountains in the distance and said, "That building is where we’re going."

The second-floor campus of Wanfa University, each floor is 10 square kilometers, after being remodeled over a hundred times, it currently has 666 floors."

"Inside, besides the teachers, students, and some related service personnel and residents, roughly over a million people live there."

Fu Ji chuckled upon hearing that and said, "Each floor being 10 square kilometers, 666 floors add up to 6,660 square kilometers. When you think about it like that, it seems similar to the area of a large city on the first floor."

"But this layered city is crammed into a 3-plus kilometer-wide space, each floor is a few meters tall, with the shortest being two or three meters. Inside, apart from concrete and cement, there’s almost no flora or fauna, and much of it never sees sunlight. Some people born and bred inside might not have seen natural environments in their lifetime..."

"Hehe, it’s all to save space to the greatest extent possible, securing private properties outside."

"But it’s good news for you, Zhang Yu, this college city is built floor by floor, with urban renovation year after year. The Civil Engineering Department is thriving, and you’ll have plenty of work to do in the future."

Zhang Yu puckered his lips, inwardly responding, "Why else would Master Xinghuo make me apply for the Civil Engineering Department? Although it’s tough, it really pays. Before transferring to the Artifact Refining major, I’ll marry the construction site first."

At this moment, Li Xuelian pointed again and said, "Right, remember to activate the eye magic remains."

"Once you’re on the second floor and connected to the Spirit Realm Network, use the eye magic remains for anything; it’s much more convenient than using a phone."

Zhang Yu squinted his right eye slightly, and the Time Residual Demon Pupil had already started connecting to the Spirit Realm Network. As he input the newly applied account and password, the next moment... the whole world changed dramatically.

First, a huge loan advertisement filled his view; it was a full-screen ad.

Then, as Zhang Yu shook his head and his vision, the scene before his eyes switched to a shopping website: "Guess you like black silk magic remains..." This was a motion-trigger ad.

When Zhang Yu subconsciously closed his eyes, an option to block ads appeared on his retina, costing 0.001 spirit coins a month—this was a closed-eye ad.

Spirit coins -0.001

Seeing his vision return to clarity, Zhang Yu sighed with relief: "Damn, these magic remains are more trouble than they’re worth."

But the next moment, he changed his mind, because he found outside the flying boat there were numerous private property signs and warning banners that forbade entry.

The forest that originally looked natural had been divided into one closed-off area after another by these warning banners and dense beams of light.

Li Xuelian said beside him: "See that? The second floor is like this forest, with many invisible lines, and crossing any of them will bring down thunderous wrath."

"But if you can’t see the lines, you’ll have no idea how you ended up dead."

"Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about these things while on the flying boat, but once you get off, even the poorest students will pawn their eyes to install magic remains first."

At this moment, Yu Xinghan on the side asked suspiciously: "Do all the warnings here like to use black and white? Is it the style of the second floor?"

Li Xuelian and Zhang Yu looked at him in surprise, and after a moment, Yu Xinghan cursed: "Damn it, fooled me again? This secondhand eye magic remains can only see in black and white? The performance is too poor!"

Li Xuelian patted Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu’s shoulders: "Pack up your luggage, we’re almost there. After I safely send you to Wanfa University, I can finally get on with my own things."

Zhang Yu had just returned to his seat to pack his luggage when a message appeared on his retina: A Sky Sword University spirit root possessor, Seven Emotions Divine Monarch’s disciple, Foundation Establishment Cultivator Bai Zhenzhen has added you as a friend.

"Azhen, that guy, can indeed communicate as soon as she gets to the second floor?"

Zhang Yu smiled and accepted, and the next moment another holographic communication request came through.

Zhang Yu’s finger slid through the air, over the accept button appearing on his retina, and then a tall, slender figure already appeared before him.

Bai Zhenzhen’s figure appeared before Zhang Yu: "Yu Zi, you finally arrived."

Before Zhang Yu could ask anything, Bai Zhenzhen spoke again: "They sent me living expenses; I’ll transfer you some, take it quickly. If it’s not enough later, just ask me."

"Sigh, the transfer limit is only 5 spirit coins, just take them first."

Your friend has transferred you 5 spirit coins.

Upon seeing this notification, Zhang Yu was slightly stunned. Thousands of words condensed into one sentence: "Azhen, make sure to listen well to the Divine Monarch at Sky Sword University."

spirit coins transfer received.

Bai Zhenzhen rolled her eyes and said: "Do I have a choice? She’s practically my mom now!"

"The so-called Extreme Emotion Sword Dao is about infusing emotions into the sword, and only by reaching the extremes of emotions can one reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship."

"So I decided to integrate my admiration for the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch into the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, all to repay the Divine Monarch for her kindness!"

She raised her hand and swore: "If needed, I wouldn’t mind dying for her!"

Watching this scene, Zhang Yu thought to himself: "So sycophantic, could the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch be watching her?"

Bai Zhenzhen continued: "Yu Zi, to keep it brief, I have to go to class soon; I’ll be really busy. If you need anything, just leave me a message."

"As long as I earn spirit coins here, I’ll try to send you more."

"And remember to send me your address once you settle in, and I’ll mail you some good stuff..."

Listening to Bai Zhenzhen’s words, Zhang Yu felt a warm feeling in his heart, thinking that raising this ’daughter’ was worth it.

Bai Zhenzhen patted her chest and said: "Don’t worry, son, your old mom is soaring high, and from now on, I’ll support you."

With that, she opened her arms and smiled: "Come, son, give mom a hug."

Zhang Yu opened his arms and hugged Bai Zhenzhen’s hologram: "Take care."

Bai Zhenzhen nodded and said: "Don’t worry, I can take care of myself. When I have the chance, I’ll come to Wanfa University to find you."

"Feel free to spend the money I gave you. I have more opportunities to earn here, and I’ll try to send you money every month."

Listening to these words, Zhang Yu felt something was odd, as if he was living off someone else.

"Sigh, how can a good friend’s support be called living off someone?"

Simultaneously, as they embraced, Zhang Yu felt Bai Zhenzhen’s soft body, and he thought: "This Immortal Path technology is terrifying; the hologram even has tactile sensations?"

But the next moment, Zhang Yu saw the puzzled face of Le Mulan under Bai Zhenzhen’s hologram and instantly realized he had hugged Le Mulan, who was covered by Bai Zhenzhen’s hologram.

Le Mulan asked in confusion: "Zhang Yu?"

Zhang Yu quickly released his hands and stepped back.

Bai Zhenzhen asked, puzzled: "Yu Zi, what’s wrong?"

"N-nothing." Zhang Yu paused, looking at Bai Zhenzhen, and said a bit awkwardly: "I was just a bit excited to see you."
